Fonda first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1910, which makes it about 115 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 86 of the 116 years since. It was last recorded in 1997.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 4,113 American births named Fonda between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 3,129 are estimated to be alive today.
Fonda was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Across the whole record Fonda is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 4,113 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
Roughly 3,129 Americans named Fonda are alive today — 76% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 63 years old, and half are between 56 and 71.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
How much more common the name is in each state than across the country as a whole.
